I love how people are making out like the slam dunk competition wasn't anything but a joke for 18 out of the last 20 years.

not sure what people expect from this competition, it's mostly for fun and I almost always enjoyed it, with the exception of two or three years. I like the fact that fans get to decide, eliminates shenanigans like Blake and KIA's marketing stunt. And if the fans get it wrong, so be it - who cares anyway. All the guys in the contest are great dunkers and I bet each could do everyone else's dunks if they got to practice them a bit.
